Why Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Matters

Chaoyang Hospital is China's National Clinical Research Center for Respiratory Diseases and led the country's clinical response to SARS in 2003 and COVID-19 in 2020. Its pulmonology team is widely regarded — alongside China-Japan Friendship — as one of the country's top two respiratory programmes. Particular strengths include pulmonary embolism, severe pneumonia, interstitial lung disease (ILD), and pulmonary hypertension. The ICU is one of Beijing's most experienced ECMO centres.

How China MedPass Helps (Typical Pathway)

  1. 1

    Case review

    You share your records (existing imaging, lab results, problem summary). We review with our coordinating physician and identify the right specialist.

  2. 2

    Hospital & specialist matching

    We match you to the hospital and senior-attending-level specialist whose expertise actually fits your specific clinical question — not a generic outpatient slot.

  3. 3

    Appointment booking

    We secure the appointment, send you a preparation pack covering documents, payment, what to bring, and confirm the bilingual escort schedule.

  4. 4

    On-site bilingual escort

    Your escort meets you at the hospital, handles registration and communication in Mandarin, attends the consultation with you, and makes sure nothing gets lost in translation.

  5. 5

    Report translation & DICOM collection

    We deliver a structured English report (ICD-10 coded, physician-signed) plus DICOM imaging files on USB or via secure download, ready for your home doctor.

  6. 6

    Follow-up coordination

    30-day follow-up window — we coordinate clarifications with the hospital, optional physician-to-physician calls, and any additional documentation your home team requests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can international patients access Chaoyang's respiratory department?
Yes. The hospital's International Department supports English documentation, and we provide bilingual escort through the full case — registration, imaging, specialist consultation and report delivery.
Is Chaoyang or China-Japan Friendship better for my respiratory case?
Both are top-tier. Chaoyang has a stronger national-research profile for ILD, pulmonary embolism and severe pneumonia. China-Japan has a smoother international-patient workflow and direct insurance billing. We'll match you to whichever fits your specific case.

Yes — HRCT is one of our most common imaging requests at Chaoyang. Coordination from $250 all-in, with the English radiology report typically delivered within 48 hours.
Will I get an English report?
Yes — every consultation and imaging study we coordinate includes a structured English report formatted for your home pulmonologist.
Can you collect my DICOM files?
Yes. Chest CT and PET-CT DICOM imaging is collected and delivered on USB or via secure download for your home radiologist.
How much does coordination at Chaoyang cost?
Coordination from $250 all-in for imaging; from $450 for a specialist consultation. Hospital fees for pulmonary function tests, bronchoscopy or biopsy are quoted separately.
